I took a look at dfterm, but I thought it would be hard to gather all the players at the same time (especially when migrants arrive and we get even more players). Also my Internet connection has a nasty habit of suddenly dying, which would be bad if it happened in the middle of a session.

Even though I know little to nothing of DF, I would like to join the waiting list.

Why would you need to gather all players? You wait for orders from one, manage burrows/workshop settings/whatever to him, wait for next player, repeat. Also, internet failures aren't an issue - you'll simply reconnect and be right where you were (the worst that can happen is that you'll forget to pause beforehand).
Since it's maddeningly hard to do any mining orders and certainly impossible to do megaprojects, I wish thus:
Count 20 tiles north from wagon.
If have to go through rock, dig a three-wide hallway.
Build three down (or up/down if it happens to be in rock) stairs corresponding to horizontal tiles of wagon.
Dig more up/down staircases until the level under the river.
Make a room like this:
####XXX####
#                 #
#                 #
#                 #
#                 #
#                 #
#                 #
###########
(obviously not to scale) with empty part being 111 by 111 tiles.
Let's do some levelgrinding, baby  8)

I'm not really sure what is needed atm, so just get Giga to do whatever is needed, smoothing, mechanics, building design etc.

TURN 2 – SUMMER OF 151

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Dariush decided to spend the summer grinding. His massive dig site enveloped Fivex’ tunnels, so Fivex would dig down instead of mining out the coal and hematite.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Chef had barely started setting up beds when Chychi went to sleep in one of them. Meanwhile, Fivex struck topaz. Chef went on a break, so only one bed was set up for now.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Brisk prepared the fishes she had caught earlier.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Chychi had now woken up. Giga had designed the designed the glass furnace, smelter, and wood furnace, and she constructed them. Chychi made a piece of charcoal in the wood furnace and then started making coke in the smelter.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Chef finished his break, set up the rest of the beds, and started gathering plants. Meanwhile Giga was smoothing some walls and floor.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Fivex broke through into the cavern at last! During her long tunneling she had found hematite, tetrahedrite, native silver, cassierite, cobaltite, orthoclase, native gold, microcline, malachite, marble, sphalerite, cinnabar and various stones and gems.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Suddenly a draltha came out of nowhere, scaring Fivex. But it seemed uninterested in her, and instead headed up the stairs to the surface.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Squeaky would have intercepted the draltha, but he was busy taking a break. The draltha ran out of the tunnels and into the sunlight, which it seemed to enjoy more than the cramped caverns. Later it ran off the map, while another draltha remained in the caverns.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Shortly after that, on the 19th of Malachite (mid-summer), migrants arrived!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The status. The fortress currently has 23 coke and 14 rock crafts.

Here is the fortress, from bottom to top:

Below are the skills of the original dwarves. New or improved skills are in bold.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The following migrants are available to LordSlowpoke, mrbobbyg, breadbocks and USEC_OFFICER. Pick one, give it a name, post orders.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The next turn will be from now (mid-summer) until the first caravan (late autumn, assuming you build a trade depot). Post your orders!

Urist Pastimewound

(in order of importance)

1. Chop wood until no aboveground wood available

2. Activate carpentry/architecture, build trade depot near river

3. Deactivate architecture, start building a 9x11 wooden wall-rectangle, if runs out of wood, go to caverns, chop enough to complete wall.

and hope you can pull this off before you run out of time

I wanted to kill the monster, but I was just soooooooooo tireeeeeeeeed...

LordSlowpoke, I'd appreciate it if I could cover either the carpentry part or the wood part.  I spent all my points in being good at it after all.

When I'm finished, I would like a stone crafting job, craftsdwarf workshop in dead middle of this giant room, 31x31 stockpile of crafts around it (with workshop in the middle) and stone crafts on repeat. Let the world suffer.

CHEF says:
-continue with the cooking until al the meat and fat and organs are gone.
-kill/butcher every new-born animal that hasn't got two descriptions stating it as fat/muscled/huge... If the new-born has even one skinny/weak/... line in it's description: KILL IT! Any tame animals that came with the migrants except for the pets?
Yeah, these two are going to be my priority. Making meat roasts! Too bad that no one killed the intruder. Some fresh draltha meat would have been nice.

-brew booze
-plant outside crops

Orders for  Zasit Helmedloved.

1. Aquire a pick, or get one of the miners to help me.

2. Dig a hallway leading out from the topmost 3x3 staircase, and construct two 3x3 rooms that connect to that hallway, one on each side.

i.e.

Code: [Select]
XXXXXXXXXXX
X   X X   X
X   D D   X
X   X X   X
XXXXX XXXXX
XXXX   XXXX

X= Wall, D = door

3. Build a mason's workshop in one of the two rooms, and mine a stone/furniture stockpile out beside it.

i.e.

Code: [Select]
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
X   X X   X          X
X   D D   D          X
X   X X   X          X
XXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXX   XXXX

(Feel free to make the stockpile bigger.

Turn the other room into a bedroom for me.

4. Churn out doors, tables, chairs, cabinets, armour and weapons stands.

That should be it for now.
